Modeselektor announce documentary film,We Are Modeselektor

Modeselektor, as ever, are having a busy time of it.

Later this year, the German duo will club up with Apparat for asecond Moderat full-length. Their 50Weapons imprint, meanwhile, has been firing on all cylinders, lining up releases from Cosmin TRG, Bambounou and Benjamin Damage. For those curious about the pair’s day-to-day business, help is at hand: Modeselektor are to be profiled in a new feature-length documentary, We Are Modeselektor.

The 72 minute film arrives courtesy of filmmakers Holger Wick and Romi Agel, and promises “a post-German reunification movie, a travel report, and a portrait of the special friendship between Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary all in one”. Apparat and Ellen Allien are among the talking heads recruited for the film. A trailer is below, and shows the pair performing live, tinkering with gongs in the studio and bombing in hotel pools.

The film will see release on May 3 on DVD. A host of public screening have been announced across Europe, including a broadcast at the pair’s show at London’s Roundhouse in May - see below for dates. [via Electronic Beats]

Baths Announces New Album Obsidian, Shares Track “Miasma Sky”, Tours With the Postal Service

Will Wiesenfeld is back with a new Baths album. Obsidian is the follow up to 2010′s Cerulean, and it’s out May 28 via Anticon. That up there is the album cover, plus “Miasma Sky”, the first track he’s sharing from the new LP.

In an interview with Pitchfork’s Ian Cohen earlier this year, Wiesenfeld described Obsidian as darker, yet more pop and more hi-fi than his previous efforts. He also noted that he wrote the songs on the new album with the idea that they’d translate well to a full band live setting.

Speaking of: Wiesenfeld has also announced a new batch of tour dates, including shows with WHY? and supporting the Postal Service. Check those out below the tracklist.
